I don't think there's any one recommended way to handle this. It may vary with your setup.
Since 5.1.20 improvements were made, so you don't have to worry quite so much about images deteriorating performance. However, it would still mean more time to synchronize or save, which could be important if you're connecting across the web. Also, just a few high quality images might still be too much. Another possibility is to make thumbnails for your images and save them internally. Use a macro to display the images, and system information to decide whether to view the internal thumbnails or fetch the external image. That way you can view the images at low quality when offline or high-quality when online.
